Immutable Law: Marriage Is Not Your Vehicle for Happiness (or Misery)

150 150 Lee H. Baucom, Ph.D.

Marriage is NOT your vehicle for happiness (or misery).Many people enter a marriage, assuming their marriage will make them happy.  Too many “Happily ever after movies,” perhaps.

You can have a happy marriage.  But a marriage is not THE path to happiness.  It can be a part of your happy life.  But that is up to you — not the marriage.

But nor is your marriage a vehicle for misery.

If you look to your marriage to make you happy, you violate this law.  If you blame your marriage for your misery, you violate the law.

Can marriage be a part of your happy life?  Absolutely.  Can you have a happy marriage?  Absolutely.  But your marriage should not hold responsibility for your happiness (or misery).

Let me clarify and tell you more on this week’s podcast.  Listen below.
